Welcome back to the penultimate episode of Season 2 of TPATPAT! This time we’re bringing you back to the far flung land of 2016… Long before the Office Ladies carved their faces into the Mount Rushmore of rewatch podcasts, the modest West Wing Weekly chugged along in the background, for all intents and purposes a “normal” rewatch show, were it not for one of the host’s appearance in Season 4 and beyond of West Wing. While the pandemic proliferated actor-led rewatch podcasts, the West Wing...

You’ve had podcast, yes, but what about SECOND podcast? This episode of The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television starts with us asking how far we’ve gone off the rails, as The Friendship Onion isn’t even a TV rewatch podcast, but rather a hobbity Lord of the Rings nostalgia trip. We’re reviewing episodes 3 and 4 of the show, a.k.a. the Elijah Wood episodes, and it’s a zip back in time to the pandemic, a.k.a. the ground zero of celebrities getting microphones and recording podcasts to...

TPATPAT is back with S02E07 in which we discuss “The Wire at 20”, an HBO production meant to intice you into rewatching your favourite groundbreaking crime ensemble via HBO’s no-doubt reasonably priced streaming service. This show is beyond the norm, more of an audio documentary than a chat show, to the point where we have to debate whether it counts as a rewatch podcast. It borders on a radio play, with Method Man guiding us through more-or-less overproduced segments and interviews. Are...

We’re halfway through season 2 of TPATPAT and after a Jim Scampoli tour de force (two Friday Night Lights podcasts, two Full House podcasts, one Saved by the Bell podcast) we’re reviewing a podcast about a more modern show, which both hosts have actually watched. HBO’s The Last of Us podcast isn’t a nostalgic rewatch show but rather part of the official marketing material released alongside The Last of Us season 1. It features the makers of both the game and the TV show, as well as the actor...

This week we reluctantly dive into another installment of the ever-expanding TV rewatch podcast universe, and find ourselves face-to-face with: “Zack to the Future” which, in case it wasn’t clear, is a Saved by the Bell rewatch podcast. What has it got to do with Back to the Future, you ask? Nothing at all. Amidst the sea of nostalgic callbacks and flashbacks, we can’t help but marvel at the sheer absurdity of it all. Here we are, two guys hiding out in a bunker, critiquing a podcast about a...

We are back again with the other side of the coin regarding Friday Night Lights rewatch podcasts. This time we check in on Clear Eyes Full Hearts: A Friday Night Lights Rewatch after discussing It’s Not Only Football. We start to scratch the surface of the seedy underbelly of rewatch podcast production companies and stay tuned as this only goes deeper. Clear Eyes Full Hearts: A Friday Night Lights Rewatch Clear Eyes, Full Hearts is a Friday Night Lights weekly rewatch podcast hosted by...

The boys at TPATPAT are back! Apologies for the long hiatus but editing and uploading from a bunker is not all that it is cracked up to be. The TV Podcast industry is hot on my trail, but I am here to grace you with a new episode! This time we are here to discuss a Friday Night Lights Rewatch show hosted by original QB1 Jason Street (Scott Porter), fill-in QB1 Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) and Anne from Arrested Development Mae Whitman(her?). Join Jim and his trusty AI Jakob as they watch,...

This is unprecedented! Dave Coulier launches his Full House rewatch podcast, FULL HOUSE REWIND, then mere days later, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber launch their competing Full House rewatch podcast, HOW RUDE TANNERITOS! Is this town big enough for two television actor rewatch podcasts launched at the same time? Will this kick off a podcast war that will decimate the tv rewatch podcast universe as a whole?! One can only hope, until then, join Jim and his trusty AI Jakob as they watch, listen...

You thought you took us out, you thought you won, but this war rages on! Yes, Jim is back and Jakob is sort of back and they are soldiering on and continuing to listen and review TV Rewatch podcasts! They tried to take us out, so that means we can’t stop and we are onto something big. Season 2 is here and the boys have stumbled upon a potential podcast war in the making as we discuss the first of TWO new Full House rewatch podcasts. First up is Dave Coulier’s Full House rewatch show which...

———INCOMING TRANSMISSION———– MUCH APOLOGIES ON THE LATENESS OF THIS POST  I PRAY THIS FINDS YOU THE GOOD LISTENERS OF THE PODCAST ABOUT THE PODCAST ABOUT TELEVISION SHOWS  THERE IS TOO MUCH TO EXPLAIN AND NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR NOW TAKE SOLACE IN THIS NEW EPISODE AND KNOW THE EFFORT THAT WAS PUT IN TO GET IT OUT TO YOU WE’VE UNKNOWINGLY ENTERED A BATTLE THAT TURNED INTO A WAR WHEN WE DECIDED TO DIG INTO THE WORLD OF TV REWATCH PODCASTS AND IT IS STARTING TO HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES...

If you loved Office Ladies, then you just might KINDA LIKE Parks and Recollection! That’s right another NBC sitcom rewatch podcast that has some middling success, but not quite enough to keep original hosts Rob Lowe and Alan Yang. That is relevant as the podcast episode we are covering S4E1: I’m Leslie Knope is the one that features Lowe and Yang handing the hosting reigns over to Jim O’Heir (Jerry Gergich himself!) and writer/script coordinator Greg Levine. Can “Parks and Recollection” live...

The battle rages on! Another day, another TV rewatch podcast hosted by actors invading the podcast space, so you know Jim and Jakob are here to listen, review and give some pointers on the art of podcasting. This episode we join Kelly Taylor and Donna Martin as they return to the most famous zip code in TV, Beverly Hills 90210! That’s right Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling are deep into their 90210 rewatch, so lets get into it! We listened to and discuss their episode “Lucky Star” where the...

We are back with another episode of TPATPAT (This will catch on, I swear) and this time we are visiting a rewatch of “The OC”, featuring Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke aka “the original OC bitches”. That’s right Summer Roberts and Julie Cooper are here to rundown every episode of “The OC” and your boys Jim and Jakob are here to give them some podcast pointers. We listened to their discussion of the infamous season 2 finale “The Dearly Beloved” that contains the often referenced Imogen Heap...

On episode 6 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television,” prepare for a unique perspective on the beloved series Gilmore Girls. We’re bringing you a special review of “I’m All In with Scott Patterson,” where the main character himself, Scott Patterson (aka Luke Danes), dives into the world of Stars Hollow for the very first time. But here’s the twist: Scott Patterson doesn’t know much about Gilmore Girls, and he doesn’t even care about it. Yet, he embarks on a journey to watch all...

The podcasters lived in relative peace, within their own world… This was before the dark times, when the actors invaded! Welcome to Episode 5 of TPATPAT, where Jim introduces Jakob to 90s America through the lens of the 80s Nickelodeon TV show Hey Dude! This is a TV rewatch podcast that isn’t really a TV rewatch podcast? Even thoough it has the show name in the title, they are clearly ashamed of those humble roots and are merely using this original Nickelodeon sitcom to launch their...

Long ago, the podcasters and actors lived in harmony… But everything changed when the actors attacked! In episode 4 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” we delve, for the first time, into a podcast that one of us actually listens to on a semi-regular basis. After last week’s Made Women/Gangster Goddess debacle we need something to help lower our blood pressure, and what could be better for that than a nice, relaxing cartoon? We can hear that this probably sounds like sarcasm...

Welcome to episode 3 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” where we delve into the torride tale of Drea De Matteo trying to launch some sort of Sopranos podcast! Jim and Jakob learn that it isn’t just as easy as coasting on your celebrity and star status and simply launching a rewatch podcast of the show you are starred on. It takes commitment and timing, two things that seemed to crash and burn around the Adriana actress as she first launched her show in the shadow of Michael...

Welcome to episode 2 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” where we decipher Zach Braff and Donald Faison’s Scrubs re-watch podcast “Fake Doctors, Real Friends” by listening to and reviewing their episode “My Screw Up”. If you’ve missed hanging out with JD and Turk, imagine hanging out with two guys analysing two guys who played JD and Turk 20 years ago. It should definitely scratch the same itch, for sure. This episode of Fake Doctors, Real Friends is 14 hours long and...

Jim and Jakob are striking back against the influx of television actors that are invading the podcast space with their mindless rewatch discussions of the tv shows they were on! Being the podcast experts they are they have decided to use their powers for good and school these “actors” on what it takes to put together an amazing podcast. This week: OFFICE LADIES The Office co-stars and best friends, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, are doing the ultimate The Office re-watch podcast for you....

Long ago, the television actor was on your TV show and the podcaster was discussing the TV show on their podcast, but those days are long dead. In the age of the TV rewatch podcast, actors have invaded the podcast scene and stolen the hard-earned downloads from regular working Joes and Jims and Jakobs. With nowhere else to turn, no other respite or avenue, there was only one direction for two TV podcast veterans to go. Shows What You Know, the podcast about television is dead, and from its...
